Yes I agree. Not his fault we paid 10 times too much for him or stuck it out years after it was clear he was not going to come good. There is a decent player in there, and I think he might get 10+ in the Bundesliga.

He is the classic confidence player, who never overcame his price tag.

Boro have a decent setup no doubt, but they have a lesser international name, less storied history and are a lot further from London.

Good to luck to him, I hope they can give him an environment in which he can thrive. We certainly didn't.

I would think we are quite an attractive proposition at that kind of money. Better than Middlesborough anyway.

They are buying the potential, not the present.

They can plan to bounce back. If they didn’t believe they could they wouldn’t be buying a football club. They will point to Sunderland, Birmingham etc.

Business valuation is based on future earnings not current. Assume we can bounce back with the right management and modest investment and we could look a bargain.

Almost worth keeping him just to piss him off.

He has basically come out and pointed out Starmer and he announced an unfunded policy while demanding Burnham say how he is funding a policy.

You do know Scotland and Wales already have their own devolved parliaments?

And Tim Minchin. Both super talented in multiple ways though - acting, writing, directing, composing as well so not really just musical comedians I guess.

Now I live near the beach, it is half dressed people in the supermarket all summer. Hard to know where to look sometimes!

He has never looked the player who started quite a few games for Spurs and got 20 odd England U21 caps. He might still be in there - perhaps the new Manager can get something out of him. Forget the price, imagine we bought him for Drinkwater money, we might be saying he would be useful this season.

Can we stop saying Farage is going to be prime minister? He really really isn't.
